DON’T BRING CRAZY
Trainer: Doug O’Neill
Last race: Oct. 14, 2nd
Finish: 3rd by 12 1/4
Beyer: 57
Juvenile filly was not going win this maiden dirt mile, but she would have been closer except she checked, steadied, and lost momentum into the far turn. She has improved since moving to dirt.

NOT A SINNER
Trainer: Simon Callaghan
Last race: Oct. 14, 5th
Finish: Second by 2 1/2
Beyer: 67
Solid U.S. debut by juvenile filly. Off slowly in maiden turf sprint, she recovered to produce speed, was blocked at the quarter pole while winner got the jump, then finished well. Will be tough in next maiden sprint.

ROSE DAWSON
Trainer: Phil D’Amato
Last race: Oct. 14, 7th
Finish: 4th by 5 1/4
Beyer: 74
Disappointed in turf-sprint stakes, with an alibi. Despite her pedigree, Grazen filly does not care for turf. She chased from second and then sputtered. Can return to form when she returns to dirt.

IDESSIA

Improving filly ran faster each successive quarter of Cal-bred turf mile, including a 23.14-second come-home time. She is a Smiling Tiger filly from a graded-placed mare can handle open company at Del Mar.
